But, the ex-FC Porto play-maker made a surprise move to Malaga and attributes the move to the fans of los boquerones.

“I believe Malaga is a big and fantastic club. They have great fans. I have been here before. I have seen the support from their fans when I was in Porto. I think I will fit in well. I will be happy here. That’s why I choose Malaga”. Atsu explained.
